The heavy mist left only the shadow of a person. The waves crashed as they fell against the shore. Then a brief moment of quietness before the figure coughed.
The figure belonged to a tall, slender woman whose black hair covered her pale face like a curtain. She was dressed in her usual black pants, white tank-top outfit. Her feet were covered by her black combat boots that jingled as she paces back and fourth across the dock.
She sighed, "If this boat doesnt get here soon..." she grinned, her vampiric teeth shining brightly even though it was dark. "I could always fly there...But the mist is to heavy, and I get lost..Also, not knowing the way might also be a problem." She sighed again, sitting down on the long dock. "About time!" she said as the boat slowly appeared through the mist.

The eerie mist that lingered about the Ghost Shipyards parted suddenly to give way to a minuscule boat that was of the darkest of ebony. Waves lapped gently at the ship's sable hull as the mysterious watercraft came to an abrupt halt at the soggy, mud-laden shore. At a distance, one would not have been able to see the boat's fine craftsmanship. A long, silver vine wrapped itself around the full length of the craft- some parts of the vine intertwining and a few leaves springing up from its sides here and there. But somewhere in the midst of these designs were the depictions of many spiders of all varieties- large ones, small ones, skinny ones, fat ones, some with long legs, and still others with short ones. Overall, the boat gave off the impression of something that had been crafted by one who possessed a dark mind...
From this boat there emerged a tall, looming figure suddenly, and the mist parted, too, for this shadow. Up close it could be seen that it was a rather intimidating woman of terrible beauty with waist-length, midnight black hair that shimmered beautifully in the pale light of the moon, and her pale, frost-white skin contrasted nicely with her lengthy, venom-green dress that trailed at her boot-clad feet. But what was most strinking about this woman, however, was the intense color of her vinrant, yellow eyes. So yellow were they that the sclera had been completely ridden over with the color of the iris, and two, narrowly slitted pupils fixed themselves upon the vampire in what seemed to any mere mortal as an over-powering gaze. Long, dark eyelashes framed her unnatural eyes, and she blinked at her student idly before neatly folding her hands behind her back and inclining her magnificent head. "Good evening, A'Marie," her drawl was long and almost lackadaisical, but it beheld some sort of tingling mystery that would put even a siren's voice to shame. "My name is Arachnea Mor'Ungol, and I will be your intructor at Twilight Moon Academy."
((Welcome to TMA, uhh..heh heh...Andrea! ^__^ Tee hee. You already know my name (and it'll bee pretty hard to forget it), so I'll skip the intro. If you have any questions, problems, etc. don't hesitate to confront me about 'em. So once again...WELCOME ABOARD! ^__^))

Her eyes outlined the frame of the boat, lingering over the spiders of diffrent size. The darkness caught her eye the most though, she had never seen one so dark. Thats when her eyes glanced up to see the shadowy figure come into light. She had a strange, mysterious sense about her but A'Marie didnt pay that any attention, after all, most people did sometimes. She listened intently to the words the lady spoke, her eyes refusing to look at Arachnea Mor'Ungol's. When she stopped speaking it took A'Marie a moment to comprehend it all.
She thought about what to say but the words came at a loss to her so all she muttered was a simple, "Hello" and in her voice hinted a sense of envy, which was quite rare. "Its nice to meet you Arachnea Mor'Ungol..." came to her mind and she spoke it just as fast, not yet able to controll the words. "This boat is amazing...the crafter must have taken great pride into building it..." Even herself was getting annoyed at what she began to ramble on about but she couldnt help the words that poured from her mouth.

Arachnea chuckled softly- a terrible and eerie sound that drifted out over the vast, open barrenness of the Ghost Shipyard in an almost macabre tone. "I'm glad you like it, as we'll be spending a while in it." Her long, pallid fingers trailed over the meticulous details of the boat idly. "It was a gift from a friend, but mind it not. We must get to the academy as soon as possible. Let us depart, then." And with that, she climbed back into the watercraft.
About 5 minutes into the journey, Arachnea spoke in that uncanny tone of hers. "Now, when we get to the academy, a schedule by which you must abide will be given to you, and a few classes on this schedule are mandatory. Master, Alchemy, Beastry, Magic, and Weaponry would be those classes. However, a total of 5 optional classes are yours to choose, and these are History, Life skills, Music, Potionry, Puppetmaster, Study Hall, and Samurai. What say you?"

She followed her aboard the beautiful ship. Admiring it even more on the inside than from the outside view. "Interesting...I'll probly end up taking all the classes but study hall...Even though Potionry doesnt sound fun, I should learn all that I can." She sighed and looked around. "Its even more beautiful on the inside than the outside..." She liked Arachnea, envying her mysterious-ness and the way she held herself. "Uhm, is their something special I should call you? I mean if your to be my instructor I wouldnt want to start with a bad impression..." She looked down, she was rambling on about nothing again, she just waited for the school to come into view.

"I'm actually quite fond of it myself, really." A smile slithered onto her pale countenance as she said, "I don't mind you calling me Arachnea, though. I would feel a bit awkward if you called me anything else."
About 30 minutes later, a faint, dark silhouette could be made out upon the horizon, and it was unmistakably the great building of Twilight Moon Academy. Arachnea smiled once more and stated to her student, "I believe we're nearly there. You can vaguely see the outline of the academy from here."
The boat pulled up to the sandy shores of the academy and jerked to a stop as Arachnea got out and stretched her legs. The moonlight reflected off the sand and made the water glisten like one, big, polished slab of glass. It was a captivating sight at nighttime, but during the light of day, it was an eden..."
Arachnea Mor'Ungol then turned to A'Marie and said, almost sadly," I fear this is where we must depart for the time being, but before I forget..."-she fished around in her pocket for a moment before pulling out what appeared to be a glowing, green crystal ball-" this is for you."
***A'Marie received the "Orb of Intangibility"*** The "Orb of Tangibility" provides the bearer the ability to become invisible for a total of 3 minutes. Also known as "The Orb of Invisibility", this particular orb enables its summoner to pass through any given object and remain unseen for a limited amount of time. Sneak up on an enemy, dodge a barrage of bullets, whatever! Just be sure to remember that this summon requires the use of quite a bit of energy. NOTE: At first, summoning will be tiring!!! Practice before battles to prevent damage to yourself, leading to the loss of the battle!
"Farewell, A'Marie...Until we meet again..." And with that, she backed back into her boat, and it pushed off the sandy shore into the great, shimmering body of glass-like water until she and the watercraft could not be seen.

She took the green orb, nodding to her and watching the boat sail away. "Farewell" she turned towards the school, still quite in awe. "Wait..Where do I go from here? I dont know what I'm even doing..or my way around this place..isnt an instructor supposed to instruct me?" She sighed and walked up the stairs, pausing. "My Kitty!" She reached into the small bag at her side and pulled out the baby panther to make sure she was still alright, setting her on the ground, it following. She continued to walk, sliding open the door."Hello?" she whispered.

A teacher who had been passing along the front doors of the academy spotted A'Marie immediately, smiled, and said, "Are you new here? If so, I can help you. I believe all students are in Master Class now, and if you hurry along, you can meet up with your instructor there and perhaps learn something new." He then smiled once more and pointed down the hallway toward the Master classroom. "It's down that way." And then, he strode off down one of the many corridors of the academy and vanished.
